Nathan-Paul grew up a pastor's son here in Cleveland, and knows how to deliver sound medicine to the people. His velvety lo-fi sounds are a vibe-heavy soul party, fusing modern trap, 70s funk, and fiery southern gospel.

And Fusion is an apt word for this performance, which he terms Livf's Notes. This show is steeped in improvisation, borders on free jazz but really is best described as an hour of experimental Fusion.

Featuring Garret Folger on Trumpet, Zaire Darden on Drums, Kip Reed on Bass, Chris Anderson on Trombone, Howard Alexander on Piano and Nathan Paul on Saxophones and from a September 27th, 2025 performance, it's Nathan Paul's Life Notes…Live at the Bop Stop.
